Unequal Taxation.

We find the following in recent
number of the Greenville Revie,o::
The Tunica County Herald win publish the follow
| ing tomorrow:
The Board of Supervisors at its late meeting for
the purpose of equazing after thought
fully and carefully considering the whole subject of
assessment and taxes, wisely concluded that the
Legislature, in fixing the rate of taxation for State
and county purposes took into consideration that
all taxable property usually assessed at about
onethird of its actual cash value otherwise they
certainly would not fixed the State tax at 81
mills, and allowed the counties TO go to sufficient
| maximum to make the taxes from to per cent
| OF the value of property, which any man can see
at once would amount to confscstion. So the
Board determined to cqualze this basis, and pro-
ceeded do so, especially the real estate roll
but when they reached the railroad assessments o.
their road bed, right of way etc, they seemed to
have ignored their own basis and raised the
ment from 1900 to s15 900 per mile the full value
or more of the same While know our Board
desires to do right and fair by every one, yet we
fear that they have allowed the popular prejudice
against corporations to influence their action. We
think the railroad should in all legal matters
especially in the matter OF taxes be treated as nd
viduals. They own property and pay more
taxes than any single any ten tax payers in the
county, and if any should be favored it seems
TO US that they should be the ones.
As the Board of Supervisors of Tu-
MICA county could not levy tax on the
property of railroad companies used
in operating their railroads, it is pre-
sumed that the assessment referred to
was for the purposes of taxation for
leyee purposes; but we fail to see any
Justice in assessing such property at It's
full value or whereabouts, while the
property of individuals il admitted to be
assessed at one third its value.
The leyee tax on realty and person
atty is an dd ralorea tax just as the
State and county tax is; and though an
assessment of railroad property which is
not equal and not uniform, will not
affect the amount of tax paid to the |
State or the county, so long as the rail
road companies pay privilege tax to
the State in lieu of all other taxes, still |
the burden of levee taxation will be dis |
tributed in manner violative of the |
law authorizing a tax for levee pur-
poses if the assessment of Sl5, 900 mile
be permitted to remain.

SF. LOUIS REPUBLICAN: The Negro
of the Southern States is best fitted By
nature and training for a country life,
but during the last two decades there
has been a negro movement towards the
cities and towns The result is illus
trated by the morality statistics collected
from the leading cities of Tennessee for
single month this year. In Memphis
the white death rate was 14.02, the negro
2S.77; Nashville, White 1880, negro,
2l10; Chattanooga, white 1920, negro
45: Gainesville, white 1880, negro 80;
Knoxville, white 1858, negro 1918. In
Memphis the negro quarter of the town
is an unhealthy location, full of miasma,
but Nashville, Gainesville, Chattanooga
and Knoxville have no such alIuvial
territory, and the only possible expIana
ton of the. great disproportion in the
death-rate is the negro's reckless dis
regard Of the laws Of health.

4 To the Editor OF the Appeal:
UNIVERSITY, Miss, August I0.-Some
! days ago, while lingering in paper basket
/ for the latest Appeal got hole of an old
/ copy, that of the 2lst or 22d of July, which
l had not read. CHANGING over it | found
/ a partial report of the proceedings OF the
Mississippi Baptist Convention, containing
my resolution calling for the appointment
of Committee on the State of the Coun-
/ try. There was also a brief editorial, in
which was surprised 10 find that my res.
olution was regarded as having some rela-
ton TO the Hamilton Gambrell tragedy.
beg to say to you and to those who read
that editorial, that no reference, explicit or
implicit, TO that sad affair was coutem-
plated by my motion. | have my opinion
as to that matter, but should not regard
/ it as timely thing to give voice to it IN a
religious convention.
/ Ny resolution called for a committee on
the state OF the country-the United States
not on the condition of Mississippi. Ii
| was laid onthetsble, subject to call, as the
hour for adjournment was nearly at hand
| and the president thought it might pro-
woke discussion and delay the appointment
OF other committees. And as | waslargely
occupied in providing creature comforts
for the convention, did not insist on TAX
ing the motion from the table.
Such committees have been frequently
/ appointed by religious bodies, the design
being to show the growth of Christian in
fuence in the country. a report of such A
CON mittee would attempt to answer ques-
items like these: First-What has Christi
anity done for the country-the United
States Second-Has it done all it might
have done? II not, then-Third-W What
remains to be be done and Fourth-How
may the lack be supplied?
The forces that hinder the progress OF
! Christian influence might also be men
toned and discussed. Such committee
would become sort of Religions Intelli-
gence Bureau, having tor its end the culti-
walton of Christian citizenship. Very re-

Hon. F.. @. MILLS, of Texas, will
probably succeed Mr.. Morrison as Chair
man of the House Committee on Ways
and Means. In reply to a question
relating to the reduction of taxes by the
next Congress, he said:
"Unquestionably something will have
to be done to reduce the surplus, and
the right way to do that is to reduce
taxation, and the tax to be reduced is
that which is the most burdensome to
the people. The tax on the necessaries
of life ought to be reduced before that
on Injuries. The tax on wooden and
cotton goods ought to be reduced before
that on silks or alcoholic liquors"
That's the doctrine. Reduce the nee
essaries first, and on fnery and liquors,
last.
